Many readers have told me that they connected with my last column, in which I discussed the growing recognition that we've become too infatuated with "elite" colleges and that we shouldn't undervalue the many other excellent institutions with lesser pedigrees. I also touched on the mounting concern over increasing college costs and student loan debt.
This week, I continue the examination of higher education by addressing another modern fixation: the widespread belief that only majors in engineering,...

Having completed work toward his sociology degree at UC Irvine, and coming from a background of privilege, Travis Woloson might be looking forward to starting post-graduate life with a leg up.
But when asked about his projected place in the working world, the senior men's volleyball starter and role player revealed why his importance to the No. 4-ranked Anteaters is as great, if not greater than any of his more heralded teammates.

Baker said he heard what he thought was Guy drop to the ground and then someone asking Guy if he was OK, as Baker told the punter he was going into the...

The humility of Newport Harbor High senior goalkeeper Carlee Kapana is as genuine as her talent in girls' water polo.
Kapana won't talk trash against rival Corona del Mar. But to find the reason the Sailors beat the Sea Kings all three times this past winter, one only has to look at the girl with cap No. 1 on her head.
Kapana made a combined 42 saves in the three games. Newport Harbor beat CdM, 5-4, in the Battle of the Bay game, then 7-6 in overtime in a Holiday Cup third-place game. Newport also...

The UC Irvine student legislative council on Monday unanimously passed a resolution to commemorate the Armenian genocide and "condemn its denial."
The measure follows similar resolutions passed at UCLA and other state campuses meant to mark the 100th anniversary of the massacre of about 1.5 million Armenians starting in 1915 amid the chaotic collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
Over the years, measures put forward in the U.S. Congress to recognize the killings as genocide have failed in the face of stiff...
